How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for supermoto-style thrills, tight cornering, and mixed tarmac-and-dirt riding rather than outright top speed or distance touring.
- Built for
- A sharp, lightweight, high-revving V-twin supermoto with race-derived chassis components designed to feel playful and precise rather than plush.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking a comfortable, long-distance tourer or a low, beginner-friendly commuter.
